Really enjoyed the talks from founders on how they have built profitable companies on the bootrapped stage - very inspiring. Really liked the open plan and sunshine vibe of SaaStr, great access to facilities, food and a great crowd.

Some interesting sessions. The music in between is too loud and annoying. How about some quiet so we can think about what we’ve heard. And I don’t see Wi-Fi here.

It has gone well, the meetings have been very meaningful. The flow of the exhibit hall is also a welcomed break in between meetings.

Speakers shared how companies were integrating LLMs into products, rethinking pricing for AI features, building AI-native startups, and defending against AI-driven disruption.
